Seoul, July 23 /Xinhua/ — The Minister of Unification of the Republic of Korea, Chung Dong-yun, said on Thursday that Seoul has in fact abandoned its “denuclearization first” policy towards the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea /DPRK/. This was reported on Thursday by the Yonhap news agency.
The South Korean minister made this statement at a press conference dedicated to the first anniversary of his tenure, emphasizing that the government is developing a “peace first” policy aimed at freezing North Korea’s nuclear program.
“The reason is that North Korea continues to expand its nuclear capabilities,” explained Chung Dong-young, emphasizing that his country can no longer afford to ignore this issue.
